TTh Preschool News - Week of Jan 17

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord"
Psalm 100:1


Hello Tuesday-Thursday Families
,

We've had another wonderful week of learning fun here at preschool! We started a fun science experiment this week using some fingerling potatoes. It was easy to guess why they are called "fingerlings!" We all took guesses on how many days it will take for the potatoes to grow roots. You can see our guesses below the potato picture!



We had fun painting on Tuesday using our multicultural "people paints." On Thursday, we brought out markers and crayons to add the facial features. We put all of the faces on our classroom bulletin board and added the fabric people that were made by the MWF class.


And for some additional fun for Letter M week, we played our Mini Motors Math Game!


But quite possibly the MOST fun we had this week was playing the "Mango Treats" movement game. The song is available at Teachingkidstosing.com and the words are...
"In the jungle, there's a monkey, dancing to this groovy beat
All he eats is ripe bananas,all he eats is mango treats
So jump out (one child), and jump in (another child)."
We went around in a circle several times, and had so much fun dancing like monkeys! If you ever volunteer in the classroom, make sure to request this song!!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Miss Jean, Miss Amy and Miss Pat
